Monster Energy has officially disclosed the comprehensive list of exclusive rewards that will be accessible in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 through their returning promotional partnership with the popular first-person shooter franchise. This marks the continuation of a successful collaboration between the two brands, having previously joined forces for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. The upcoming title, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, is scheduled for worldwide release on November 14, 2025.

Last year, Activision established partnerships with both Little Caesars and Monster Energy to deliver substantial in-game rewards for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players. These collaborative efforts provided enthusiasts with opportunities to obtain Double XP tokens, exclusive character skins, specialized weapon blueprints, and various other digital items. The Little Caesars promotion required participants to make a minimum $3 purchase at participating locations to unlock corresponding in-game content. Meanwhile, the Monster Energy rewards were accessible through unique codes found on specially marked cans of their energy drinks.

Following successful collaborations for both Modern Warfare 3 and Black Ops 6, Activision continues its partnership with the beverage company, offering players another chance to acquire specialized rewards for Black Ops 7. Cans featuring the distinctive Black Ops 7 branding began appearing on store shelves earlier this year, but the complete reward details have now been formally announced. As identified by Twitter user DETONATED, the official Monster x Call of Duty website now comprehensively lists all available cosmetic items obtainable through promotional codes. Among the most notable rewards are premium weapon blueprints for the Peacekeeper and VS Recon firearms, along with mysterious operator skins that are expected to feature the iconic Monster Energy logo.

In recent developments, Activision announced last week that it would be discontinuing the controversial Carry Forward feature for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 after weeks of community debate. Initially, the publisher intended to allow complete transfer of cosmetic items, operator skins, weapons, Double XP tokens, and Gobblegums from Black Ops 6 to the new installment. However, following significant fan criticism regarding the abundance of unrealistic and unconventional cosmetic items in Black Ops 6, the company revised its policy to only permit the transfer of Double XP tokens and Gobblegums between titles.

The decision to eliminate the Carry Forward feature has generated mixed reactions within the gaming community. Activision appears willing to take calculated risks to maintain its dominant position in the competitive gaming market this year, particularly with Battlefield 6 already achieving record-breaking numbers. These two major franchises will compete directly for the first time in four years, with early indicators suggesting Battlefield might experience an exceptional year given the overwhelmingly positive reception of its open beta weekends. Conversely, Call of Duty faces challenges from the outset, as the reveal trailer for Black Ops 7 has accumulated hundreds of thousands of negative reactions and numerous comments indicating player preference for pre-ordering Battlefield 6 instead.
